In this thesis, I focus my attention on the problems connected with English language learning by dyslexic students, concentrating on the university system and, in particular, on the present situation and on future perspectives at Pisa University. I further described the difficulties caused by the study of a foreign language, in particular English, through the answers given by five students of the University of Pisa to a questionnaire that I gave them to complete.
As the answers to my questionnaire prove, English language learning is an extremely challenging task for a dyslexic student. They find it hard to apply the grammar rules, to write and comprehend written texts and to speak in English and exhibit problems in the memorization of lexicon and in the correct pronunciation of foreign words.
The main objective of this thesis is to find adequate methods and didactic instruments to let dyslexic students reach a good level in second language learning, focusing the attention, in particular, on the university system.
